This is a gem...I used to live in a countryside ...At dawn roosters served as alarm clock every morning. You took me to my home far away,,long ago in this Haiku ..To my list of faves.

Sun soon started to reappear, And gradually morning is near; Shadows dissolved; With day involved; All of my fear would disappear.
